Green Green Grass Of Home
Tom Jones (Curly Putnam, 1965)


Intro
| [G]   | [Gsus4]   | [G]   | [Gsus4]   | [G]   | [D7]  

The | [G] old home town looks the | same
As I | [C] step down from the | [G] train
And there to | [G] meet me is my | [Gsus4] Mama  [G] and | [D7] Papa... | [D7] ...
Down the | [G] road I look, and | [G7] there runs Mary,
| [C] ...Hair of gold, and | lips like cherries
It's | [G] good to touch the | [D7] green, green grass of | [G] home.   | [G]  

Chorus
[D7↓] Yes, [D7↓] they'll | [G] all come to | [G7] meet me,
Arms | [C] reaching, smiling | sweetly,
It's | [G] good to touch the | [D7] green, green grass of | [G] home. | [D7]  

The | [G] old house is still | [G7] standing
Though the | [C] paint is cracked and | [G] dry
And there's that | [G] old oak tree | that I used to | [D] play on   | [D7]  
Down the | [G] lane I walk with | [G7] my sweet Mary,
| [C] ...Hair of gold, and | lips like cherries,
It's | [G] good to touch the | [D7] green, green grass of | [G] home | [G]  

Spoken Verse
| [G] ...Then I awake, and | look around me |
| [C] ...At four grey walls | [G] that surround me |
| [G] ...And I realise, | yes, I was only | [D7] dreaming   | [D7]  
For there's a | [G] guard, and there's a | [G7] sad old Padre |
| [C] ...Arm in arm we'll | [C] walk at daybreak |
| [G] Again I'll touch the | [D] green, green grass of | [G] home. [C] | [G]  

[C] Yes, they'll | [G] all come to | [G7] see me,
In the | [C] shade of that | old oak tree
As they | [G] lay me 'neath the | [D↓] green, green grass of | [C] home.   | [G↓]

De passer des nuits | [Am] blanches... | . retouchant le des- | [Dm] sin... |
| [Dm] De la ligne d'un | [Am] sein du galbe d'une hanche |
| [Am] Et ce n'est qu'au matin | [Dm] . qu'on s'assayait en- | [F] fin

| [Am] En haut d'un escalier | [Dm] . je cherche l'atelier |
| [F] . Dont plus rien ne sub- | [Am] siste... dans | son nouveau décor |
| [Dm] . Montmartre semble | [E7] triste et les lilas sont | [Am] morts   | [A7!] ...

| [G] | [D] | [C] | [G] | [G]

If my words did [G] glow, | with the gold of [C] sunshine [C]
And my [C] tunes, were | played, on the | harp un- [G] strung
Would you hear my [G] voice, | come through the [C] music [C]  
Would you [G] hold it [D] near [C] as it were your [G] own?


It's a hand me [G] down, | the thou- oughts are [C] broken [C]
Per- [C] haps, they're | better | left un- [G] sung
I don't [G] know, | don't really [C] ca- are [C]
[G] Let there be [D] songs [C] to fill the [G] air [G]


Chorus
[Am] Ripple | in still [D] water [D]
When there [G] is no pebble [C] tossed
Nor [A] wind to [D] blow



Reach out your [G] hand, if your cup be [C] empty
If your [C] cup, is full, may it be a- [G] gain
Let it be [G] known, there is a [C] fountain  [C]  
[G] That was not [D] made [C] by the hands of [G] men


There is a [G] road, no simple [C] highway
Be- [C] tween the dawn and the dark of [G] night
And if you [G] go no one may [C] follow
[G] That path is [D] for [C] your steps [G] alone [G]


Chorus
[Am] Ripple | in still [D] water [D]
When there [G] is no pebble [C] tossed
Nor [A] wind to [D] blow


You who [G] choose to lead must [C] follow
But [C] if you fall you fall a- [G] lone
If you should [G] stand then who's to [C] guide you?
[G] If I knew the [D] way [C] I would take you [G] home
